Howard Schoenfeld has spent more than three decades crafting persuasive arguments that require what he calls “a marriage of the facts and the law with the human-interest elements of [his] client’s cause.”

Schoenfeld is a partner at DeWitt Law Firm, where he specializes in appellate litigation, business matters and personal injury cases. He’s represented both government entities and individuals in appellate advocacy, but his goal is always the same: to persuade the court not just of the law but with credibility, relatability and truth.

He is a member of the American Association for Justice, the Society of Legal Advocates and the Wisconsin Association for Justice.

The heart of his practice is shaped by a quote from trial lawyer, Clarence Darrow, “I have represented the rich and the poor, the powerful and the powerless. But never rich against poor, never the powerful against the powerless.” That principle inspired his career in the law and still guides both his practice and the way he lives.
